Safety razors and all that shit are literally the zoomer boy's choice. Boomers use the gillette cartidge razor things, and based people (me) use straight razor shavettes and just lather the soap right on our faces and don't bother with any of that faggoty after shave pampering kit stuff.

Safety razors give the exact same shave as cartridge razors at a much lesser cost. It is also less intense on the skin. I personally just use normal shaving cream in a can though. No need to fag out with the brush and all that.
>>18369182You and your skin look like shit. Just use some walmart facial moisturizer after you're done.
>>18369803I don't really give a shit about cost, I have a well paying job. The REAL reason I use safety razors is my face doesn't get all fucked up from it.>>18369810This is also something that matters. I use musgo real, a pea shaped bit of cream foamed up in a cup is enough for 3 passes on my face. I don't shave every day anymore, when I did in the military, a squeeze tube of it went by in 3 or 4 months. As a civilian shaving two or three times a week, it's about a year. You actually save money by buying the fancy creams to shave with, since you use much less compared to the globs you need to use of the cheap stuff. On top of that, your face won't feel like shit afterwards. Ive never used any aftershaves, those face rub blocks, or any of that crap.safety razor, box of feather blades, some cheap boar hair brush I've fixed with wood glue, a cup, and some quality shaving cream. >>18369811I have extremely dry skin and my wife has to moisturize my back with cetaphil after I shower, or I can't sleep from my skin getting so itchy. If you have a quality shaving cream, you don't need to moisturize with lotion on your face afterwards. The cream is moisturizing enough. I think musgo real has lanolin.

I'm looking for some oily soap. I need my skin oiled before shaving.
>>18369176are the brushes a meme what's the difference between just lathering my face with my hands
>>18369182That's why your face looks like a slab of leather. Never lather on your face.
>>18370673You won't get enough lather. A brush has multiple surface areas to lather the soap and fill air into it to create a fluffy foam. When you lather with your hand it will simply smear the shaving cream onto your face with a stick paste that will dry up pretty quickly compared to foam created by lathering with a brush.
>>18370673you get the best lather with animal hair but frankly polyester is adequate. boar bristle is fairly standard and gives a better lather though. not too expensive.
>>18369176I just shave with water
I still find it crazy how much of a difference having the right blade for the razor makes. My go to setup is basically perfect, but every now and then I'll pick a random blade and it just makes me feel like a retarded DE virgin who doesn't know what the fuck he's doing
